The Next Game for XK

XK is in need of a new flagship game. As stated before, we need a fresh game to play where we can recruit new people while we still have enough semi-active people to populate a server with enough XKs to draw interest from people who would like to join.
Now to look at what games should be considered (I am going to assume that we are going to stay in the FPS category). From the xfire website, the top 20 games are:

From this list I believe that the only viable choices (based upon game age and popularity) are Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Bad Company 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, & Counter-Strike: Source.
On a personal level I believe that BC2 would be the best choice for XK b/c it is a new game (= no one is established & equal skill lvls among players) and it is rather solid FPS.
Regardless of what game we choose, a consensus and action needs to be made soon. The future of XK lays with this choice and time is only ticking away.

I second BC2, that game is so fun, plus servers can be monstrously huge so attracting people wouldn't be a problem there.

Not a big fan of buying games this day and age for many reasons...
I've never actually played it but I don't mind BC2 if a good majority of you guys are SERIOUSLY willing to give it a try. Over a thousand bucks in Pell grant refund checks are God's recent gift to me...
I totally agree. Came out like what march 5th? It is rather new, so we'd all be in good shape skillwise. CSS and the rest that are like older then even halo are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy out of the question. I'm pretty sure plenty of hacks are made out in many of those older games too. And with a majority of us being terrible, we'd have a really tough time figuring out a truly legit team/individual.

CSS is fun to play once in a while with friends because it's just there...get bored, pop on steam and play that. The game isn't that great compared to other ones nowadays like MW2 (COD4 = CSS on steroids) and Bad Company 2, whom I pick. But the community is of greater importance then the game so I'll go with whatever the majority wants - and perhaps when I actually get a PC I can play...I'm working on that though

I was over at a buddies last week, MW2 on the ps3 is so good! I always though the xbox controller was better for fps but not anymore

I say BC2 over mw2 because the multiplayer has to be superior, supporting private dedis etc. supposed to be a sick game.

Ah yes that's another reason why I said BC2. Fuck MW2's lack of dedi support.
